| Description | Glycolysis is the process of converting glucose into pyruvate and generating small amounts of ATP (energy) and NADH (reducing power). It is a central pathway that produces important precursor metabolites: six-carbon compounds of glucose-6P and fructose-6P and three-carbon compounds of glycerone-P; glyceraldehyde-3P; glycerate-3P; phosphoenolpyruvate; and pyruvate [MD:M00001]. Acetyl-CoA; another important precursor metabolite; is produced by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate [MD:M00307]. When the enzyme genes of this pathway are examined in completely sequenced genomes; the reaction steps of three-carbon compounds from glycerone-P to pyruvate form a conserved core module [MD:M00002]; which is found in almost all organisms and which sometimes contains operon structures in bacterial genomes. Gluconeogenesis is a synthesis pathway of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors. It is essentially a reversal of glycolysis with minor variations of alternative paths [MD:M00003].
